Rodger--Henry A. Huney was listed in the 1900 Census for Comfrey as a Merchant. That probably meant he had a general store which typically used tokens like this. The not transferable bit was probably to discourage the exchange of tokens for goods and services to others in town. I have seen items in local papers about the barber willing to be paid in tokens from the store. He had to eat too.
